Nobody told me before I bought GP3 that you CAN'T turn the steering
help off for keyboard. It's very silly. I'm not an amateur. I don't
want any help. The help system is very intrusive. It kicks in when I'm
going into pits, going out of pits, turning hairpins, turning chicanes
etc. It doesn't even let me spin even if I want to do it deliberately.
What's the fun if you know that can't spin out no matter how bad you
are driving? Do I have to hire Fisichella to take me out? :)

If somebody had told me about this, I wouldn't have wasted my money.
So, this is my warning to anyone who wants to buy the game and doesn't
have a wheel. I'm very sad because of this as a GP2 fan, but don't
waste your money on GP3 until you buy a wheel.

As for not being able to spin, you're not pushing hard enough.

It's been mentioned numerous times in numerous threads.

Cheers,
Rod.

again....this sounds like a case of Crammond knows best......

I saw a patch at www.alphaf1.com/gp3 that was called "driving aid enabler".
I think it was designed to turn on help in pro mode but perhaps it will also
allow you to change whatever you want also?

I dont know why you're surprised.   The keyboard controls are
exactly the same as they are in GP2 and GP1.

Perhaps you should stick with Sony Playstation games then :-)

Any PROOF of that?  :-) It's impossible.

Did you turn off traction control in GP3?

I understand that some of you guys may need the help but I don't and I
can't understand why I can't turn it off. It feels like going on rails.
